PARTICULAR SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ROTARY TOOL
guarded or controlled.
f) The arbor size of wheels, flanges,
backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbor holes
that do not match the mounting hardware
of the power tool will run out of balance
vibrate excessively and may cause loss
of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use, inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheels for chips and
cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or
cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or work piece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of work piece or
of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
live wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool ˜live˜˜and shock the
operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord
4
may be cut or snagged and your hand
or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until
the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while
carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.

for all operations
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
backing pad, brush or any other
accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory's rotation at the
point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the work piece,
the edge of the wheel that is entering into
the pinch point can dig into the surface of
the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool
misuse and/or incorrect operating
